A 90-YEAR-OLD Chipinge granny was last week burnt to death after she was left alone in her hut warming herself up.
Chipinge District police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Blessing Kadzuraumera, confirmed the incident which happened last Wednesday at Shakavanhu Village under Chief Mutema.
“On August 19, at around 7pm, Mwaiseka Shaimano (74) of the same village, who is a daughter to the deceased, Masodzi Shaimano (90), went to cook supper for her mother who was no longer able cook for herself because of advanced age.
